RUSH: Here is Judy in Westport, Connecticut. I really appreciate you holding on. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh. Thank you. When I got up this morning and I saw this story, I knew I had to call you. I\u2019ve tried to get through to you four times since I\u2019ve been listening to you over the years. This is the first time I got through. What I told Mr. Snerdley was that I think I took the easy way out. I went to work. I think that Ann Romney had the tougher job. I can\u2019t imagine staying home and raising five kids. I\u2019m absolutely in awe of her.<\/p>\n
RUSH: With MS and breast cancer along the way.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s just amazing. But I\u2019ve gotta tell you, I\u2019m basically your age. And so I went through the whole “you can have it all.” I bought into that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Interesting. What did that mean? You tell me. You\u2019re my age, so you come from the formative years, the modern era of feminism in the late sixties, early seventies. What, to you, did having it all mean? Didn\u2019t it mean a great job, great pay, and motherhood, and going with the kids to soccer and doing all that. Isn\u2019t that what it meant?<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s what you were supposed to do. That\u2019s what you were expected to do.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And if you didn\u2019t do the work half, you were betraying the sisterhood, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It was what we were expected to do. I mean, I\u2019m an attorney. So I went through law school. I was expected to go practice law.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Generally, that\u2019s what society expected.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, that\u2019s what the feminists told you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. But when I think back, I mean, having it all, when you do that, when you\u2019re at work, you always think you\u2019re supposed to be home, and when you\u2019re home you always think you\u2019re supposed to be at work. It\u2019s very hard.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s a cycle, isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s a vicious cycle. It\u2019s the full enchilada.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. It was very rough, and when I think back, you know, I could have taken a break at that point in time.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Did you get married?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I was married for ten years before my son was born. Typical, for my generation, we waited \u2019til the last possible minute to have kids.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. And you did that because the biological time bomb was about to go off, right?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Exactly. I know this story, folks. I know this story without knowing the woman. I know the story. So you delayed it, the biological time bomb. And I know so many women who bought into this; and they waited and waited, and it got to be too late. And now I can\u2019t tell you how unfulfilled they are, they don\u2019t have kids.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m so happy that I made it before the biological time bomb went off. But I think at that point I could have taken a career pause, but I didn\u2019t; I was just starting up my own law practice.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you said at the beginning of the call knowing what you know now you would have chosen the Ann Romney path. Oh, no, that\u2019s not it. You said you took the easy way. <\/p>\n
CALLER: I took the easy way out. I got to go to work. So I got to be around adults all day. I got to have adult conversations. I mean being in the house with small children and not having adult contact all day, that\u2019s hard.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s a difficult job.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. I know what you mean. I can relate to that, my three dogs.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I got to scoot out all day and come home in the evening. I mean I spent as much time as I could, and I worked for myself, I still do, so I was able to come and go as I wanted to.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, glad you called. I appreciate your perspective on this. Did the Hilary Rosen thing irritate you? Is that why you wanted to call?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I woke up this morning and I looked at Drudge —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — and that was the first thing that I saw, and I said, “I don\u2019t care how much time it takes, I gotta call Rush.”<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I\u2019m glad you did.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m glad I had my automatic phone redialer.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) Well, the connections worked. Judy, thanks for the call. I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All the best to you.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here is Christina in Atlanta. I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you? <\/p>\n
RUSH: Very well. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I just wanted to comment a small thing on the Ann Romney situation. I am a wife and a mother and a small business owner and an active member of my church in my community, and I am so frustrated with women in general, the liberal line that it has to be an either\/or mentality. I feel like the women\u2019s rights movement was to create choices for women, and when you are successful by using the options available to you, people like Sarah Palin or Ann Romney or any other successful conservative woman are just torn apart by the media and the press, but also the people like me that are around people in our communities on a day-to-day basis —<\/p>\n
RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. The hypocrisy\u2019s amazing. They say go have it all. So here\u2019s Palin, who has kids, has a Down syndrome baby, goes to work, and she gets crucified for it. And then last night Hilary Rosen rips on Ann Romney for not working when she has five kids. <\/p>\n
